description

Drain repo-recall's on-disk dispatch queue into Claude Desktop "Start locally" cards. For each unhandled `~/.repo-recall/dispatch/<repo>/*.md`, calls `mcp__scheduled-tasks__create_scheduled_task` with a near-future fireAt, then writes a `.handled` sidecar. Pairs with `recall-dispatch` to close the autonomous-engineering loop. Triggers - autonomous pickup, pickup dispatches, drain dispatch queue, fan out dispatches, run AFK pickup, dispatch queue, lights-out pickup, sweep dispatches.

autonomous-pickup

The pickup side of recall-dispatch. The planner writes markdown artifacts to ~/.repo-recall/dispatch/<repo>/<slug>.md. This skill reads them and creates one cowork-scheduled-task per artifact so Claude Desktop renders a right-side "Start locally" card. Kai clicks each card to spawn a Desktop session seeded with the artifact's prompt.

The skill is the bridge between the on-disk dispatch queue and the Desktop session-manager. Without it, artifacts pile up and a human fans them out by hand. With it, Desktop becomes the queue UI.

When to run

• After a recall-dispatch run completes and Kai wants queued prompts to surface in Desktop.
• On a recurring cadence (every 10-15 minutes via a self-perpetuating scheduled-task) so new artifacts get picked up.
• When Kai dictates any trigger phrasing above.

How

See details.md for the full mechanics, hard rules, output shape, failure modes, and related skills.

Summary of the loop:

1. script.py scan → JSON of unhandled artifacts.
2. Per item, call mcp__scheduled-tasks__create_scheduled_task with taskId, verbatim prompt, staggered fireAt.
3. On success, script.py mark-handled <path> writes the sidecar.
4. Print one-line summary.
